You're an alliance leader and a player goes out of his way to continue to make pathetic attempts to bring your alliance down. This person continues to point out mild, situational flaws publicly in a vain attempt to bring you some sort of negative publicity. This player also mentions on multiple occasions that your players are much better than the pedigree of your historic alliance and they should find a new home.

Now, what do you think is the likely scenario?

My guess would be this player is riddled with envy of your alliance and would do anything he can (while continuing to embarrass himself in the eyes of the community) to make your fine players and the people of this wonderful game think less of your clan and leadership because he has never produced anything noteworthy in the decade of his gameplay on his own. This player continues to spew his pitiful biased drivel in some sad unprovoked attempt to bring you down any way his peanut, cocaine-fried brain can produce.
What about you?
Or am I being obtuse?



Remember, this is completely hypothetical.

^ I like this better. Your way still does not aid much more clarification, mdevol. In fact, it almost strengthens the argument of the term "vulture".



Now here's an age-old question: Why do we call the different rounds "resets". Especially saying things such as, "The reset is about to end."

Ok... I'm going to yield to NBK and CC on this since they obviously found you first...

but if you continue to do harmful attacks on untags for no good reason then your countries are going to be destroyed. Farming and grabbing is one thing (debatable morally) but unprovoked harmful attacks is nothing but a waste of resources.

So let's be clear about this: Stop it or someone is going to kill your countries.

So maybe other than saying you feel like it's "bottish", are there any other more specific reasons why it's a bad thing?


Anything that automates actual gameplay is a bad thing in my opinion. I was already not a fan of the standing orders. Basically playing my turns for me would seem utterly ridiculous.

Originally posted by Twain:
Of course. War clans would hate this, because typically they're going to have more dedication to restarting than a netting clan (of course, speaking as a clan entirely, not individuals).

It would shift power slightly towards the less dedicated clan in a war, because it would make it more likely than their players will consistently restart.




I disagree with this part. War clans clearly have to restart more, ergo, more work/time. "Dedication" to building those countries shouldn't be a factor one should be worried about when changing game mechanics. Although I do agree with a script like this, NBK would have been tougher and closer vs. FoCuS/PANLV. This confuses me when you say war clans would hate it, but then give us an example where it would have helped one...

Do I wish restarts were less of a pain in the ass? Of course. But I do it because that's part of the game. I don't want an automated script doing it or me.

I'm also not sure why this discussion has become so heated. To me, this seems like just a simple idea that was thrown out - not something likely to be implemented anytime soon.

The agreed upon end time was end of day 3/21/11 or sooner. IMP never had intentions of warring through the end of the set so we arranged it that way purposely.

KyleCleric has been promoted to the council within IMP and will serve as third in command within the alliance. For now, he will still serve as the main FA contact.

Snawdog and LeftyHa8er are also good alternate contacts and are authorized for FA work.

I don't understand how you SancT guys are failing to see the problem we all have in this.

If you didn't want to go after IMP immediately when they were first farming you because they were expecting it, fine. You went after Swords again and crushed them. Good for you.

Your war with Swords ended pretty quickly and you had plenty of opportunity to build up. If you wanted to jump IMP, you had several weeks there before they announced they'd be fighting CC. You failed to do so.

After CC/IMP was announced, they waited almost a full week to actually start their war, giving you another window of opportunity to hit IMP (in which they'd be in the midst of war-prepping, sure, but they actually still probably wouldn't have seen it coming if you wanted the advantage of a true FS). You failed to do so.

CC and IMP started warring, throwing missiles at each other and beating each other down. Warring IMP should've been off the table ONLY at this point. You had about 6 weeks to decide to go after IMP and failed to do so. At this point, after stalling for 6 weeks and letting CC do the dirty work of wearing IMP down, you decide to go after IMP.

First off, from the perspective of IMP, sure you had cause to go to war, but there would be no glory or reason to celebrate had you beat IMP in this situation. They took some of CC's best hits and had spent virtually all their missiles in their FS. If you had been allowed to 1 on 1 IMP and won, it was already a cowardly move.

However, secondly and far more important is that you had ZERO reason to ruin what was a good war for CC. CC seemingly hasn't done a thing to you guys in SancT considering I'm sure you'd have fluffed and moaned up and down FFAT about it if they had, and they were actually doing what you wanted done anyway--killing IMP!

I don't think anyone, even the IMP members, have complained about your attacks on IMP themselves being wrong. You have every right to declare on a clan that has wronged you in some way. It's your timing and your willingness to ruin a war that has cost you all respect on this server.
